Seventeen members of the Orange Elks Lodge visited the Long Beach Veterans Hospital to treat 21 Veterans to a Christmas in July. Elks from several other lodges in the Orange Coast District were also there.. The lodge provided $100 dollars for Bingo, a gift bag that included toiletry gifts, an American flag, an hand written card that said “Our vets will never be forgotten.  Thank you for your service. God Bless you and God Bless America" and included a five dollar bill. Every veteran won at least $5.00 in Bingo.  This is a special program our lodge does to show our appreciation to the veterans for their part in keeping our country safe.
